Servo Order!
After doing the usual exercise in frustration to figure out optimal hobbyking shipping configurations:
It appears the shipped cost for three servos is between[1] $28 and $32 CAD[2], depending on the exact number we’re ordering.
If we’re ordering ~20 of the thumbwheel pots from sparkfun, It’s ~$30 CAD after shipping to Canada, so I might as well handle that too.
Based on prior experience, I’d like to collect $35 per set (3 servos, 1 thumbwheel pot) - any integer dollars extra will be refunded, loose change amounts fed to donatio. I’ll put the order in no earlier than January 1st.
As an experiment, I’d like to collect money by Interac E-transfer. (I’m open to alternatives if this doesn’t work for you - I’m trying to find something better than paypal to use for future workshops, and it seems a reasonable option that all the banks I could think of support - just let me know if you need an alternative…)
My email is [now redacted]. Please put Your NAME and Forum ID as a message on the payment, so I know who sent it. For the pre-shared payment password you can use “VHS-piccolo” or PM/email me a password of your choice.
Is anyone willing to step up to bulk order the arduinos?
[1] optimal quantity is between 20 and 39 servos - it’s better to do two orders of 30 than one order of 60…
[2]~1.2 CAD to USD used for approximation.
